Why is this even a question ?

People in general need to quit living like they are uber wealthy because they see others live that way. It's stupid.

In this case, it doesn't really seem to be about the money. OP confessed she would gladly go into debt for a trip with just her and DH. She doesn't want to travel with her kids or spend time with her family.  [/quote]

So the title of your post is misleading. You left out a lot of details until the post got to pages 2, 3, and 4. [b]Thanks for stringing us along [/b][/quote]

Well, that's the same thing OP is doing to her family, so it's not personal.  [/quote]

Oh please. No one asked you to read all the pages. I got into more details as I wanted to (a vent, as it is.)

But the basic question still remains the same: would you go on a vacation that you cannot afford just because it’s family?[/quote]

Since you ask, I would never put myself in a position with two kids and not being able to afford $1500.  That's not a lot of money to me for a week-long vacation.  In fact, it seems dirt cheap.

In any case, the opportunity for your parents to spend time with all of their grandkids is probably rare, and for that reason, yes I would go. [/quote]

We are saving up for a house and second car.

Do most families have money to save for a house, car, monthly spendings, and still enough to go on a vacation? [/quote]
